You know the Dreamcast was on track to take second last generation, and the reason it flopped had absolutely nothing to do with releasing early and everything to do with Sega being horrible at coordinating their releases, right? Sega ruined themselves, and the Dreamcast was the best hardware decision they'd made in eight years. Only reason it didn't survive was BECAUSE it was the best hardware decision they'd made in eight years - eight years worth of bad decisions will tend to run a company under.
However, I do agree that it is weird that we haven't seen anything from M$ or Sony yet. It says nothing against Nintendo - they're doing exactly what they should. I find it to be terrible business practice of M$ & Sony, though, to allow their competitor to freely gain a foothold in the next generation without so much as breathing any word of distraction about their own product. I feel like they could easily pull attention away from WiiU with SOME word of their next gen, but I guess both companies are still too frantically trying to make money off of this generation, competing against each other, to risk cannibalizing their own sales.
